An interesting contest. Solo Saxophone has been rejuvenated by the move to Ben Haslam and is likely to prove hard to beat, but there are alternatives. YOUNG MERLIN looks sure to appreciate this step up to 2m on what we have seen from his Sandown efforts over slightly shorter and with the likelihood of further improvement to come, gets the vote.< b> ts'afreebie ran a stormer at Royal Ascot and a repeat of that would take him close. At a bigger price Doctor Cross could give each-way backers a run for their money.
